THE i-CREATe WORKSHOPS

i-CREATe Workshops signify high-caliber education and audience participation. i-CREATe workshops distinguish themselves in the field because the presenters work to make the learning experience: innovative, interdisciplinary, and informative Presenters aim to: 1. deliver current information, 2. have a well-organized structure that stimulates and facilitates learning and 3. hold a tightly moderated discussion period that empowers the participants to drive and direct their own continuing education experience. 

The workshop sessions can be conducted in a variety of formats, including: a single speaker, panel of speakers, hands-on demonstrations, audience-driven show & tells and other types of creative methods of information exchange. Each workshop must include a visual component (such as a PowerPoint presentation), a hands-on or demonstration component where possible (i.e. in the Practice Track), handouts and at least a 15-minute, well-moderated discussion period.  These requirements answer feedback from attendees who report that the most important elements to a good AT conference session are: 1. becoming involved through audience Q/A-discussion and 2. Seeing and experiencing the technology for them.
